Intel Driver Crash

[Sam Martin]

Standard usage of Ubuntu, sporadically end up with an unresponsive user interface. Examination of syslog spews out some error about i915 intel display driver.

I've noticed there are a couple of similar bugs around, most notably: bug #1384342 and bug #64431, and possibly bug #1453029

Let me know what else I need to post to help,
